Maybe the St Louis game also turns out to be a game that was a win (or a loss), regardless of who was in net - you never know.
The idea is to get at least two points from the two games - they have done that and now have a chance for more.

Unless expectations are extremely low I don't think you ever look at a back to back games hoping to win only one game. I look at it this way. You have back to back games. One opponent is clearly the lesser of the two and out of conference so only 2 point game. The other opponent is 2nd in the conference and represents a 4 point swing in overall conference standings. I'm going to start by best guy in the 4 point game against the better opponent because IMO that's the better decision. I'm sure Darryl has his reasons and it probably has to do with giving Markstrom an extra day off before facing the Canucks.
